Aside from what is happening in the US, our 2017 has kicked off to a great start. We are enjoying winter more than ever and school is going so well for all of us. Here are a few photos from last week...
We celebrated Book Character Day last Friday.
This is my dear friend Ula, who will be moving to India next year.
Amelia was not interested in taking a photo of her dressed as Sleeping Beauty.
Amelia's Goals Revealed...
"My goal is to do friendship with animals."
Oh our sweet girl wants a pet more than you can imagine.
"Get ready on time for school."
Always an important one!
"My goal is to be a good counter to one million."
I love how determined she is!
My friend Ula introduced me to the idea of a one word resolution. You choose a word that encompasses the change you want to see happen in yourself. She did this with her students and it was very powerful. I shared the idea with Jim and he tried it with his sixth graders, too. I wrestled with my own word for quite sometime time. I thought about commit because I tend to start new projects, but don't always finish them. This has especially been true with fitness goals. But, these just didn't feel right. Other considerations were: joy, do, grit. In the end, I settled on connect because I want to connect more with myself through exercise, I want to be more connect with the kids as they become more independent and of course connect with Jim as our lives can be a bit hectic. A huge part of my job is connecting with others and building trusting relationships so that they feel comfortable to grow and accept my coaching. Overall, this seems very fitting for 2017.
